After everyone left, the tent was left with only Qin Chuyuan and Gong Xiaohua. The tent quieted down.
After a while, Qin Chuyuan took the initiative to speak first, worriedly said: "The battlefield is unpredictable, you must be careful in this battle."
Gong Xiaohua was sitting in the main seat, her hand turning the book stopped for a moment, and softly responded: "Um." She actually didn't read a single word in.
After speaking, the tent regained its calmness.
While Qin Chuyuan sitting below was looking at Gong Xiaohua, wanting to speak but hesitated. After a while, he seemed to have gathered great courage.
"Xiaohua, I have something to tell you."
Only then did Gong Xiaohua raise her head to look at him: "What's the matter?"
"Cough, after this battle I want to ask if we could reconcile?"
Seeing that Gong Xiaohua didn't respond, he went on to say: "The last time you said those words, I know you were doing it for my own good. But now the Princess of Liang Country is dead, Ye and Liang countries are now mortal enemies, there are no more obstacles between us."
"Speaking of the death of the Princess of Liang, did you have anything to do with it?"
"How is that possible? Although I really want to be with you, I won't joke about Ye Country's future and people's lives."
"Are you sure you didn't do something about it?"
Faced with Gong Xiaohua's questioning, Qin Chuyuan said somewhat uneasily: "I did do something, but I only asked Lin Zhiyuan to approach the Princess of Liang Country and take the opportunity to create some scenes of a hero saving a beauty. But I never thought about killing her."
"You really have good means, you even thought of using your good friend to seduce a girl. I now know that Qin Chuyuan's serious appearance on the outside, but there are so many schemes and twists and turns inside." Today she finally knew that Qin Chuyuan had an upright appearance on the outside, but there were actually many small ideas and tricks inside.
"I had no choice!"
Gong Xiaohua ignored him and stood up and walked out of the big tent to a place where Qin Chuyuan couldn't see her. The corner of her mouth slightly raised up.
Qin Chuyuan didn't get the answer he wanted. He also quickly stood up and followed Gong Xiaohua.
"Where are you going?"
"Inspection."
The two walked one after the other silently towards the stationing place of the Xiyuan Army.
On the second day, at dawn, the Xiyuan Army broke camp and left. This time they had to pass through a primitive virgin forest in a no man's land before they could detour around the back of Liang Country.
No man's land, as the name suggests, no one had ever entered or left before, the dangers inside were unpredictable, which was also why the Liang army chose to camp not far away.
But safety and danger coexist.
When setting off, Qin Chuyuan and the generals of the army came to see them off. This time Qin Chuyuan could no longer follow Gong Xiaohua, as the supervisor of the army, he had to be with the main force.
"Have a safe journey."
"Have a safe journey."
Qin Chuyuan looked at Gong Xiaohua and said, "You still owe me an answer, be sure to come back safely."
This time Gong Xiaohua no longer remained silent, and responded directly: "Okay, wait until I get back."
"Have a safe journey."
"Have a safe journey."
After receiving the news from the northern battlefield of Ye Country, the Liang army was quiet for many days, and later dispatched small contingents of troops to fight outside Yu City several times, but did not see the female general again, even the few generals who often stood beside her were not there.
The Liang army speculated that the female general's troops had been transferred to the northern battlefield to prevent deception. They launched a medium-scale battle, and in the end still did not find the presence of the female general, and even the ever-changing formation was gone. Only then did they confirm that the other party had been transferred away.
With the biggest hidden danger gone, on the fifth day after Gong Xiaohua led the Xiyuan Army away, Liang launched an attack on the city, throwing all its troops onto the battlefield. This time they must capture Yu City.
King Runan of Liang personally led an army of 250,000 troops and horses to the foot of Yu City. They were arranged in square formations, dense crowds that the eye couldn't see the edge.
Wielding swords, wearing armors, mighty momentum.
Ye met them with 230,000 troops, rows of archers, crossbowmen, shieldsmen, spearmen on the city walls, waiting in battle formation.
One year, large and small wars, both sides lost a lot of manpower respectively.
The horn sounded, drums shook the earth, smoke and dust rose everywhere.
The battle between the two countries began with the confrontation between the main generals.
I saw that the main general of the Liang army in the forefront wore golden armor and a black dragon print battle robe. Although he was already middle-aged, he was sturdy in stature with an impressive manner. His phoenix eyes were half open and half closed, not angry but majestic, like a war god descending.
The silver-maned steed under him was tall and strong. Its right hoof kept kicking forward impatiently, waiting for its master's order to rush towards the enemy like a gale at any time.
As expected of the battle-hardened King Runan of Liang who even made Liang Wang feel apprehensive.
The city gate of Yu City opened. Ye's main general, General Chen, wore silver armor and held a horse-chopping blade. He rode on a jujube red steed to answer the battle. He was seven Chi tall with a tall nose and square jaws. His face was solemn and his eyes were piercing.
The confrontation between the main generals could greatly boost the morale of the soldiers below, and even play a decisive role in victory or defeat during the war.
As soon as the two sides reached the battlefield, they picked up their weapons and the horses rushed forward quickly under the urging of their masters.
Ding, ding, ding. The sound of metal collisions came, and the two exchanged positions, turning around their horses, the first round was to probe each other.
In the second round, King Runan took the lead, raising the spear in his hand and stabbing straight at General Chen’s throat. General Chen lowered his body, narrowly avoiding it, while slashing at his opponent’s horse’s limbs with his horse-chopping blade.
King Runan retracted his spear as his horse leaped up, and the two exchanged positions again.
Although the opponent was a battle-hardened veteran, General Chen was not weak either. He had participated in the army since he was young, and now had more than ten years of experience.
The two clashed with each other again. After an unknown number of rounds, General Chen was finally speared off his horse by King Runan.
King Runan pressed step by step, the moment General Chen fell off his horse, he had already fallen into disadvantage. Facing the opponent's killer moves, he could only retreat step by step, defending on every step.
Soon, his body was pierced by several spears, blood flowing from the wounds, his hair was disheveled, and his face was full of dust. He looked very embarrassed.
The Ye generals were worried about General Chen, while his deputy general rushed out of the city gate on horseback to meet him when General Chen was kicked off the horse.
When the deputy general was about to get close to General Chen, he saw the opponent's spear piercing towards the main general's chest. His eyes were filled with fright and shouted loudly:
"General!"
Too late to say, too fast to act. General Chen rolled to the side to avoid the opponent's killer move.
The deputy general jumped off his horse and stood in front of General Chen with a meteor hammer in his hand, anxiously said: "General, ride my horse back to the city quickly. I will hold him off for you."
"You are not his opponent, go back quickly!" General Chen shouted loudly.
"General, if not for you nurturing me, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. Today I will repay your grace even if it costs me my life. Hurry up and go!"
After saying that, he picked up his meteor hammer and attacked King Runan. But as soon as he got close, he was speared under the horse by King Runan.
King Runan pulled out the spear, preparing to stop the opponent's main general, but failed to do so. It turned out that the person he stabbed was tightly holding onto his long spear.
Only after hearing the galloping sound of the horse in front did he let go, while revealing a smile before falling to the ground.
King Runan looked at the fallen man and said, "Quite a good lad indeed."
Then he turned his horse around and returned to the front of his army.
"Attack the city!"
The confrontation between the main generals of Liang and Ye ended in Ye's defeat. When the commander-in-chief ordered, the morale of the Liang army was high. Like a violent storm, they charged and killed. It was like a black torrent.
